Service-Oriented Computing (SOC) allows software development time to be shortened by the composition of existing services across the Internet. Further exploitation of this revolutionary trend is feasible through automation, thanks to the use of software agents and techniques from distributed artificial intelligence. This book provides an...
The history of software development paradigms suggests that a new paradigm often
has its genesis in programming languages and then moves up to design and analysis
(e.g., structured programming preceded structured design and analysis, and objectoriented
programming predated object-oriented design and modeling). This same
pattern can...
This volume contains the proceedings of the 6th International Conference on
Logical Aspects of Computational Linguistics 2011 (LACL 2011), held June 29-
July 1, 2011 in Montpellier, France. The LACL conferences aim at providing a
forum for the presentation and discussion of current research in all the formal
and logical aspects of...
In this book, we study theoretical and practical aspects of computing methods for mathematical modelling of nonlinear systems. A number of computing techniques are considered, such as methods of operator approximation with any given accuracy; operator interpolation techniques including a non-Lagrange interpolation; methods of system...
Apache Cassandra is a fault-tolerant, distributed data store which offers linear scalability allowing it to be a storage platform for large high volume websites.
This book provides detailed recipes that describe how to use the features of Cassandra and improve its performance. Recipes cover topics ranging from setting up Cassandra...
Approximation methods are of vital importance in many challenging applications
from computational science and engineering. This book collects papers
from world experts in a broad variety of relevant applications of approximation
theory, including pattern recognition and machine learning, multiscale modelling
of fluid flow, metrology,...
This is the joint post-proceedings of the 6th International Symposium on High
Performance Computing (ISHPC-VI) and the First International Workshop on
Advanced Low Power Systems 2006 (ALPS2006). The post-proceedings also
contain the papers presented at the Second HPF International Workshop: Experiences
and Progress (HiWEP2005) and the...
Some TIME ago a group of mathematicians and computer scientists (including the editors
of this volume) thought of making a scientific pilgrimage to the birthplace of al-Khw&rizmf,
the outstanding ninth-century mathematician who gave his name to the word "algorithm".
As his name indicates, al-Khwarizmi came from the Khorezm...
The conceptualization of a problem (modeling) and the computational solution of this problem (simulation), is the foundation of Computational Science. This coupled endeavor is unique in several respects. It allows practically any complex system to be analyzed with predictive capability by invoking the multiscale paradigm linking...
SolidWorks as a topic of learning is a huge, sprawling expanse. There is a lot to know, and a lot to write about. While I have made every effort to be complete in this book, I'm sure there are some niche topics that have gone untreated. New in 2011, I have taken this book from a single volume of an immense scope to two individual volumes,...
This volume of the Modern Aspects of Electrochemistry series con-
tains six chapters: four are on topics of current fundamental interest
in the subject and two deal with more technological aspects of
electrochemistry.
Writing such a chapter on solid metal electrodes is a challenge
when, at every moment, the latest...
